Alabama, as I'm a graduate. Navy is a close second because my father in law played there in the early 80's. However I'm happy at Arkansas and look forward to the rebuild. I've left a few too many teams behind and really want to put down roots and see what I can do long term with the same team.

Mine isn't coaching related. I was working for the Titans trying to make some trades and deandean messaged me on behalf of the saints. We did the usual dance and for some reason I was a MASSIVE asshole to him, which he certainly didn't deserve. I was mad/stressed about something in my personal life and let it spill over onto here. I felt terrible about it immediately, both for how I treated him and that I let personal shit affect who I am here. I like coming here to shoot the shit and get away from irl stuff sometimes so that moment was a big eye opener for me. Now if I have nothing nice to say I don't say anything and I try to not take anything too seriously.

Jumbo was the first person to help me out. He gave me an opportunity as his OC (and James Dale's QB coach) and even though I didn't know shit, he would still ask me for my opinion on gameplans. I was overwhelmed in learning how to navigate the site but he was extremely helpful . I still have a soft spot for Pitt and James Dale. L'Chaim, Jumbo.

I consider myself a player's coach. I believe interacting with the players not just as coach to player but also as person to person, getting to know them off the field has shown that they are willing to work harder for me on the field.
At the moment I see us as a middle tier team in the West. However I do believe we have the chance for success against some of the more entrenched top-tier teams and I hope to use our recruiting over the next few years to build a team that will compete for SEC championships yearly.

With the departure of SlinkyJr to Michigan State, the University of Arkansas was left to fill the vacancy of Head Coach. After a quick, yet exhaustive search, the search committee and AD have found their man in thatfunk.
Coach thatfunk began his career at Marshall where he posted a 10-2 record. He then, to the surprise of many, was given the position of Head Coach at the University of Florida. He coached the Gators for two years, which included an SEC Championship and a Playoff Berth. His past year at Arizona was his most trying, seeing him post a 6-7 record, including a blowout in his teams bowl game.
Today, however, marks a new chapter for both coach thatfunk and the University of Arkansas. The AD believes this is the best man for the job as he has experience in the SEC and can take advantage of the fertile recruiting ground that surround Arkansas.
"I am happy to be back in the best conference of all of college football" said thatfunk. "I am thankful to the AD for giving me this opportunity and look to expand on the success obtained by previous coach SlinkyJr. To be the best, you have to beat the best, which is what we intend to do against our SEC foes and I look forward to making Arkansas a name on the national stage. Thank you and woo pig sooie."
The floor is now open for questions.
